6. Charging
6.1 Charging the Earbuds
Place the earbuds into the charging case. They will automatically begin charging. The digital display on the case will show the charging status of each earbud (L for left, R for right) and the case battery level.
6.2 Charging the Case
Connect the provided Type-C charging cable to the charging port on the case and to a USB power source. The digital display will indicate the charging progress of the case. A full charge provides approximately 3 additional recharges for the earbuds, totaling up to 28 hours of working time.
7. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the earbuds and charging case with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Storage: When not in use, store the earbuds in their charging case to protect them and keep them charged. Store in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures.
- Water Resistance: The earbuds are waterproof (specific IP rating not provided, assume splash-proof). Avoid submerging them in water.
- Avoid Impact: Do not drop or expose the earbuds to strong impacts, as this may damage internal components.
8. Troubleshooting
- Earbuds not pairing: Ensure both earbuds are in the charging case, then open the lid to activate pairing mode. Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your device and try searching again.
- Only one earbud working: Place both earbuds back into the charging case, close the lid, wait a few seconds, then open it again. This often re-syncs them. If the issue persists, try resetting the earbuds (refer to the full user manual for specific reset instructions).
- No sound: Check the volume level on both your device and the earbuds. Ensure the earbuds are properly connected to your device.
- Charging issues: Verify the charging cable is securely connected to both the case and the power source. Check if the charging port is clean and free of debris.
- Poor call quality: Ensure the earbuds are positioned correctly in your ears. Check for any obstructions around the microphone.
